It does not.  I tried this on a working system.
After booting up with tomsrtbt, I did...
    mount /dev/hda5 /newboot    (/boot directory)
    mount /dev/hda8 /mnt        (/     directory)

I found /mnt/sbin/mkbootdisk
    cd /mnt/sbin
    ./mkbootdisk /newboot/vmlinux-2.2.12-20

I get the error
    ./mkbootdisk: not found

Thanks... Dan.
